Re: [CHICKENS-101] Egg coloring?

 

Mike, Feed them tumeric mixed in their feed and alfalfa to scratch in.  Tumeric  is good for them and will make orange yolks too. Alfalfa is good for poultry and provides trace minerals. Do you pee blue because you drank koolaid?   No!!
 Think about the chemical,  xanthophyll, in foods that chickens need for good nutrition and health, to make their yolks orange and their skin yellow.

 I have missed everyone so much! I caught my husband's viral upper respiratory, on top of the one I caught from my parents and was getting over.  I was so sick yesterday that I missed my U of M appt and slept all day.  I feel much better today. Amen.

Someone said If I want bright orange yolks to add Marigolds.
So I am wondering, Can I add food color to the chickens drinking water
and instead of getting egg whites, I get egg reds, egg blues, egg pinks,
etc?
Has anyone tried this?
